Where can I purchase a high frequency step-up transformer

AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking a high-frequency step-up transformer with specific characteristics for plasma generation, including a 1:80 step-up ratio and operational frequency of 1MHz. They are struggling to find a suitable ferrite rod that meets the required dimensions and specifications for winding. Suggestions for potential suppliers include All-Tronics and Newark, with references to Ferroxcube for additional options. The user has contacted a company for clarification but has yet to receive a response. The search for alternatives continues as they await further information.

I need a transformer with the following characteristics that can operate at a frequency of 1MHz.

Step-up ratio= 1:80
Primary L=1.55uH
Secondary L=10.65mH
Mutual Inductance= 62.5uH

Any suggestions on what US companies might carry this kind of product?

Welcome to the PF.

80:1 at 1MHz is potentially going to be difficult to achieve. Can you say something about the application? What is your target spec for Cww (winding-to-winding capacitance)?

Thank you berkeman,
I am trying to replicate a transformer in a paper for plasma generation. The paper describes the transformer as a 10mm diameter ferrite rod with 5(.3mm):400(.15mm) windings of copper wire.
Loss Resistance= 26 ohm
Self Capacitance=3.55pF

I've had no luck finding a ferrite rod with the right shape and size. Hardly any have been above 8mm in diameter, and none have been more than 25mm long, too short to fit the number of windings required. This is why I am trying to find an equivalent transformer.

is this guy's offering the right flavor?

I contacted this company about a week ago but never received a response. I called again and sent another email just now. It seems to be what I need, but I won't know for sure until I can talk with their engineers. I will keep the thread updated, and in the mean time I will continue to search for alternatives.
 
Newark carries the Ferroxcube and they'll answer their phone.

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
